![Barbara O'Keefe, Alexandria, Va., has a long line of prayer shawls behind her. In her lifetime, she's knitted more than 100. "I've given them to speakers at our [synodical] women's gatherings, to people who are sick and to people celebrating happy occasions," O'Keefe said at the shawl display at Camp Dianoigo. "The pattern I use is a Trinity of stitches. Three stitches you knit; three stitches you purl. I tell people to use it in times of happiness and sadness." O'Keefe contributed some of these shawls, which will be distributed to ministries and communities in the Eastern Washington-Idaho Synod.
